BTI Income December 2014
Becky and I both share our incomes from our other blogs here on BOTS. We do this as an example of what can be done with blogging. There are people who make MUCH more than we do and others who are not monetizing their blogs. We have both found it extremely beneficial in our own growth as bloggers, when other people share their tips, and even their numbers and income. It helps all of us grow when we can see the different options that are out ...

How to make money with affiliate book sales (without doing a review)
Today I want to talk to you about how to make money with affiliate book sales (without doing a review). Before I begin, let me tell you my little secret… I (Becky) really dislike doing reviews. I guess it is because so many reviews are sponsored, so I have a hard time not feeling like I am trying to sell something to my readers. If I have one that is really what I believe in, it would be easy to promote it, but it might be hard to get readers ...
